FRESH PEACH COBBLER WITH CAKE MIX

This recipe is such a comfort food to me. I had this ALL the time growing up. This recipe was one of my grandmas favorites. So, obviously I had to create an Instant Pot version! I cannot live without my Instant Pot. It makes my life with 2 boys (and 1 grown boy) a lot easier!

I used a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo, but you should be able to use any size, just make sure that whatever bowl you use fits in the inner pot BEFORE you begin.

SHOPPING LIST

The ingredient list for this Peach Cobbler recipe is pretty short at only EIGHT ingredients used. Most of these you probably already have in your pantry.

Fresh Peaches- I love using Freestone peaches for baking, but you can really use whatever you have access to, including canned peaches.

Granulated Sugar

Brown Sugar

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Cornstarch

Butter

White Cake Mix- You can also used the spiced cake mix as well, super yummy!

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Other than an Instant Pot, you will need a bowl that is small enough to fit into your inner pot.

I recommend using these Pyrex bowls. I have used them several times in the Instant Pot and they have worked well for me, but please use what you are comfortable with.

Another recommendation is an Instant Pot sling that you can use to remove the bowl and not burn yourself. I use this trivet that has the handles built in, but you can also create a sling out of aluminum foil. PLEASE be careful removing anything from the Instant Pot and use heat protection.

FAQ's

CAN I USE CANNED PEACHES OR PIE FILLING?

I recommend using fresh peaches, nothing beats a fresh peach, but if all you have on hand is canned peaches, feel free to use those. You may need to adjust the sugar and spices you add in.

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO REMOVE A PEACH PIT?

Slice the peach lengthwise down the center and around to expose the pit. Take a small spoon or your thumb and pop the stone out. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove the stone. If it is, your peaches may not be ripe.

VARIATION OPTIONS

A few variations I recommend are:

Adding in fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries.

Add in fresh sweet cherries

Add in your favorite nuts- I recommend pecans. You can add to the peach filling OR crumble up in the cobbler topping to add a little more "crunch" to the topping.

Spiced Cake Mix instead of yellow cake mix- Omit the cinnamon if you are using spiced cake mix.

Feel free to experiment and add in some of your families favorites!

TOPPING OPTIONS

No cobbler is complete without vanilla ice cream on top. I personally love using vanilla bean.

Drizzle over your favorites sauces, caramel would be a winner I think.

Sprinkle on some crushed pecans or walnuts
